Because they do not have the QB nor offense to utilize him to his max.

Duh!

He is going to cost 7 million ? Great redzone target. I would pursue Trey Burton for the same money. He is an all around talent and younger less wear and tear.

Who the hell knows what he would cost? Most likely a minimal amount as affects the 2018 cap. Signing bonus and low base salary.

All I can say is that the 10 TD's he scored in the redzone last year was better than any of our receivers, especially TE's.

Don’t post much and have not posted in a long while, but I need to point out some facts for those who prefer Trey Burton over bringing back Jimmy.

Jimmy is 6’6”, Trey is 6’ 2”

Jimmy has a 38” vertical jump, Trey has a 30” vertical

Jimmy runs a 4.56 40, Trey runs a 4.62 40

Jimmy had 10 tds last year, Trey has 7 tds I’ve the last 3 years

Jimmy knows the offense and has played with Brees, Trey hasn’t

I don’t even think it’s a question who is the more valuable weapon. Burton is Josh Hill 2.0, I do not want the Saints to get into a bidding war with half the league over a backup tight end who may or may not work out. Go with the proven commodity, Drew doesn’t have time to wait for an unproven talent.

If the price is right I would take him back in a heartbeat. If there is a huge bidding war I would just draft one.

saintsfan1976 · 03-06-2018, 08:02 AM

His Red Zone production is still elite. For that alone JG won’t come cheap. That aspect, which I’ve posted before, is worth bringing him back.

Right money i'd have him back in a heartbeat
His ability on 3rd down and red zone would take this offense back to 2011 levels with either Snead getting back to form or another 3rd down type WR.

Lots of good WR out there this year if Graham gets too expensive

Decker,Gabriel,Matthews,Amendola all could be cheap

If Cam and Brees are lobbying for a Jimmy Dickens return, include me in on that bandwagon train. Imagine having Kamara, Ingram & Graham in the redzone. Then factor in another slot WR (either draft or FA) to the mix. That's a tough out on any defense to stop on a consistent basis.

The Saints have put together a very nice, young cohesive defense that is getting better. If the price is right, make the move to bring back Jimmy & lets win the whole thing.

The "bad blood" thing has been so over hyped.

It's not over-hyped when Graham trolls the team on social media long after the fact.
